Chapter 146 I'm Taking That Woman Away
Ye Qingchen stared intently at the woman, then turned to Wang Jinbao beside him and said decisively, "I want that woman with the scar on her face. I'm taking her away right now."
Upon hearing this, Wang Jinbao glanced at Ye Qingchen with his peach blossom eyes, a malicious smile curling at the corner of his mouth, and slowly replied, "Hehe, if you are willing to marry me, let alone just keep this one woman, even if you want all the women here to become your servants, it's just a matter of me saying a word!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingchen raised his chin with disdain, glanced contemptuously at Wang Jinbao, and said coldly, "Hmph, I've already made myself very clear. I just want to take her away. Can't you understand human language? If you're smart enough to let me take her away today, then you can continue to be your carefree young master. But if you insist on not letting me take her away, don't blame me for being impolite. By then, you might regret it!"
Wang Jinbao was initially stunned by Ye Qingchen's words, but then he realized what he meant and burst into laughter. As he laughed, he pointed at Ye Qingchen and mocked, "Hahaha... This is utterly ridiculous! In this entire county, you are the first person to dare to threaten me so openly. How interesting, how incredibly interesting!"
Just then, Wang Jinbao, emboldened by lust, reached out his thick, greasy hands, attempting to caress Ye Qingchen's delicate, alabaster-like face. However, before he could succeed, Bai Zhi, quick as lightning, raised her jade-like palm and slapped Wang Jinbao hard across the face with lightning speed, causing it to swell and turn red instantly.
A crisp, loud slap rang out, and then Wang Jinbao was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, heading straight for a huge bronze vat not far away. If he hadn't been lucky enough to grab the edge of the vat at the last moment, he probably would have plunged headfirst into it, looking like a pathetic, drowned rat.
Wang Jinbao, accustomed to a life of luxury and arrogance, had never suffered such humiliation. Moreover, the one who struck him today was a seemingly frail woman; how could he swallow this insult? Enraged and humiliated, he ignored the burning pain on his face and roared at the group of servants behind him, "You bunch of idiots, what are you standing there for? Get them all together! Tie these two damned brats up! Whoever can capture them will be richly rewarded! After you tie them up, you can have your fun with them until you're tired of them, then sell them to brothels so those filthy, lowly men can have a taste!"
These servants, who usually followed Wang Jinbao and were arrogant and wicked, suddenly became enraged upon hearing their master's words, howling and rushing towards Bai Zhi and Ye Qingchen. They were confident in their numbers and believed that dealing with two weak women would be a piece of cake.
Unfortunately, these servants completely underestimated Bai Zhi's strength. Despite her delicate appearance, Bai Zhi possessed extraordinary skills. Facing the horde of servants charging at her like wolves, she remained calm and composed, her movements as agile as a swallow and her attacks as swift as the wind. With each punch and kick, every move was precisely aimed at the servants' vital points. In the blink of an eye, these once-aggressive servants were screaming and lying on the ground, bruised and battered, crying and wailing, their former arrogance completely gone.
Fu Ling, however, showed no mercy by picking up the servants who had been knocked to the ground one by one and throwing them together like sandbags. Soon, they were piled up into a tall human mountain, which looked quite comical.
Wang Jinbao never expected that he would encounter such a predicament today, as if he had kicked an incredibly hard iron plate! He saw Ye Qingchen walking towards him slowly and gracefully, each step feeling like it was stepping on his heart, making his heart race and his heart pound with fear.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Jinbao could no longer suppress his fear. His legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly as he said, "Miss... oh no, Grandma, yes, yes, Grandma! I know I was wrong. Please have mercy on me. You are a magnanimous person, please forgive me this time! You can take that woman with you, please leave quickly!"
However, faced with Wang Jinbao's desperate pleas, Ye Qingchen merely smiled slightly. This smile was truly breathtaking, like spring flowers in full bloom, dazzling and mesmerizing, but in Wang Jinbao's eyes, it was like the smile of a devil, sending shivers down his spine. Ye Qingchen's lips parted slightly as she said, "Now you want me to leave? Hmph, too late!"
After speaking, Ye Qingchen walked aside as if no one else was there, found a stool, and sat down elegantly. Then, she turned to Bai Zhi and Fu Ling beside her and softly instructed, "You two go and ask those women where they come from." Upon receiving the order, Bai Zhi immediately moved, quickly walking towards the group of rescued women and beginning to inquire about their backgrounds. Fu Ling, on the other hand, stood quietly in place, her cold gaze sweeping over the group of now-incapacitated lackeys before her, to prevent them from escaping.
At this moment, Gu Mochen, Old Master Lu, Uncle Gu, and Sanqi also entered, bringing a prisoner, a group of constables tied with ropes, and a man in official robes. Without even looking, Ye Qingchen knew that the man in official robes was most likely the county magistrate. She looked closely and saw that the magistrate had a seemingly upright and gentlemanly appearance, but now he was trembling as he cursed, and upon hearing that he was cursing his son, he cried out, "Wang Jinbao, you brat, you've ruined your old man today!" Wang Jinbao, seeing his father, realized he had truly offended someone he couldn't afford to offend. Gu Mochen said, "Do you think you can even dream of my queen?" Immediately afterward, a ball of fire ignited in his hand, quickly rising into the sky and bursting into brilliant light. That light, like the most dazzling star in the night sky, instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Time passed slowly, and about an hour later, the prince and princess, who had been leisurely sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting, suddenly noticed a group of people slowly approaching from afar. Upon closer inspection, they realized it was officials from the Jicheng Prefecture. They were all pale-faced and trembling, as if they had been greatly frightened.
The head official of the prefectural government, trembling, approached the prince and princess, followed by a group of equally fearful constables. Without a word, they all knelt down with a thud, not daring to raise their heads.
The prefectural official spoke tremblingly, "This humble subject pays respects to Prince Chen and His Highness the Princess. Regarding the matter of the Lai County government, this humble subject truly deserves to die! I truly did not realize that he would so leniently allow his son to oppress the people. He always appeared so righteous and upright, this humble subject was truly blinded by him!" Before he finished speaking, he began to kowtow repeatedly, his forehead hitting the ground with a series of thuds.
At this moment, the magistrate of Lai County, who was kneeling beside him, hurriedly chimed in, "Your Highness, I know my sins! This time, it was indeed my fault for failing to discipline him properly and for committing a grave error. I have only one wife, and she finally gave birth to my only son. Therefore, I inevitably spoiled and indulged him somewhat. But I never expected that he would dare to use my name to act recklessly and commit such an outrageous act. Please forgive me, Your Highness, please have mercy!" As he spoke, he, like the magistrate, kowtowed desperately, and faint traces of blood appeared on his forehead.
